42 Australian Plants. 
On boggy places, periodically under water, along the 
Rivers Murray, Darling and Murrumbidgee. 
The first species discovered in Australia, bearing affinity 
to A. multiflora from East India, and to A. pusilla from South 
Africa; differing from both already in the colour of the petals. 
ARALIACE. 
26. Panax augustifolius. 
Fruticose, unarmed, glabrous; leaves simply or bi-pinnate; 
leaflets spreading, carnulent, in three to seven pairs, oblong 
—linear, perfectly entire or sometimes again dissected, almost 
veinless, opaque, above dark-green, beneath pale; umbels 
distant in the panicle, pedunculate, many-flowered; calyx 
obsoletely toothed; styles two, reflexed at the extremity. 
Dispersed through the Mountains from Dandenong and 
Mount Macedon to the Buffalo Ranges, and through a great 
part of Gipp’s Land. 
The berries are blueish-white, like those of the following 
species, but somewhat smaller. 
27. Panax dendroides. 
Arborescent, unarmed, smooth; leaves simply or bi-pinnate; 
leaflets in five-seven pairs, lanceolate, acute, entire, opaque, 
beneath paler, with above prominent veins; umbels many- 
flowered, forming a divaricate panicle, which is of equal 
length with the leaves; calyx with five short teeth; styles 
two, reflexed from the base. 
Not rare in the valleys of the southern and eastern ranges 
of this colony. 
CAPRIFOLIACES. 
28. Sambucus xanthocarpa. 
Arboreous; leaves pinnately three- or five-foliolate or bi- 
pinnate, smooth, without stipules; leaflets lanceolate or ovate- 
lanceolate, long-acuminate, with exception of the basis sharp- 
serrated, cymes with five or seven principal branches; flowers 
three- or rarely four-parted; berries yellow, three-seeded. 
On the shady moist banks of the Brodribb, Snowy and 
Cabbage Tree Rivers. 
A tree with the habit of the common Elder and perhaps of 
equal utility.
